Erik Satie – Gnossienne No. 1 (free music!)
I have a little Thanksgiving gift for everyone: a free arrangement of Satie’s Gnossienne No. 1.
Download it! (PDF file)
Here’s a quick recording of what it sounds like:

Some notes about the arrangement:
- I prefer cross string ornaments, so most of the grace notes are written as cross string. This can be change depending on your personal preferences, but I think the cross string ornaments make it easier.
- The grace notes should be placed on the beat. They borrow time from the following note.
- The phrasing slurs are not mine, they are in the piano score.
- A phrase slur generally indicates a slight crescendo and diminuendo. Combined with a bit of ritard at the end of the phrase.
- I’ve added some dynamics, mostly at the end of phrases.
- All the text in the score is also in the piano version.
If, for some reason, you’d like to download the audio, here’s the file address: http://www.christopherguitar.net/audio/satiegnossienne1.mp3.
Happy Thanksgiving!
